Orlando Sewing Getaway with Linda Lee and Louise Cutting
in Orlando, Florida
It’s your time!
The original retreat for next January was reserved by the ladies from last year.
They had such a grand time! Linda Lee and I have been asked, as we taught around
the country, if we were going to be having another Retreat sometime soon? We have
just scheduled an additional Sewing Retreat for all who are interested.
Sometimes we just need to do something for ourselves. For three and one-half days and
three nights, immerse yourself in sewing, collaboration, inspiration, & learning. You will
have a hands-on sewing-oriented learning opportunity. Give your work that polished
look. Create the right finishing details for hems, bindings, miters and more.
The goal of this getaway is to have enjoyable days of personal consultations with Linda Lee
from The Sewing Workshop Pattern Collection & Louise Cutting from The Cutting Line
Design Pattern Collection. Experience the fashion & wardrobe-building trunk shows
from these two companies, each with its own unique design features.
Come and enjoy the days of sewing while working on a pattern of your choice from the two
companies. Receive the help you need to make the right pattern adjustments for
good fit. Throughout the days Linda & Louise will demonstrate easy & time-saving
sewing techniques. You will find that many ideas will transfer to your other garments.
Enjoy and benefit from being with others who share your passion. I hope you will
join us in this wonderful way to spark your creativity.
